4. Consumer education: The CRAB provides educational resources and materials to consumers, such as recipes, nutritional information, and tips on incorporating raisins into a healthy diet.
Funding[edit | edit source]
The California Raisin Advisory Board is funded through assessments on California raisin growers and packers. These assessments are based on the volume of raisins produced or packed by each individual or entity. The funds collected are used to support the CRAB's marketing and promotional activities, research and development initiatives, and administrative expenses.
